Wonderful family run restaurant! We had Shrimp fra Diavolo, Penne Sausage and Peppers, Roasted Brussel Sprouts, and a Chianti wine- all were excellent. Our waitress was super friendly and very attentive. We will definitely go back! **Fun addition- we started our evening at the Speakeasy “Tucked Tie” that is located under Nonna's - so great!

We stopped at Nonna’s Kitchen on a Friday night while traveling and specifically stayed in Spearfish to eat here. Unfortunately, the service from our server, Abigail S., was awful.
She did not mention specials or the soup of the night until prompted. Not a huge deal we get when things get busy. We ordered the Cacio de Pepe, which we were unfamiliar with. While we understood it contained black pepper, the dish was so overwhelmingly peppery it was inedible after two bites.
Instead of offering a solution, our server snapped at us and said it should have been “obvious” it would be spicy because it was in the name. No apology, no attempt to fix the issue, and no follow-up at all. When ordering a dish we're not familiar with, that might have been a prime opportunity to explain further as she is the expert. She never returned to our table—we had to flag her down just to get our checks.
When paying, we left $40 cash and a card, which should clearly indicate the cash goes toward the bill and the remainder on the card. She charged the card in full, apparently assuming the cash was her tip. When questioned, she snapped at us again and blamed us for not being clear. We would have gladly clarified—had she been willing to communicate respectfully.
The food issue was minor compared to the disrespectful, dismissive, and unprofessional treatment. This visit ensured we will not be returning to a restaurant we once enjoyed.

Highly recommend the ravioli, which is made in-house and the filling changes each week! I’ve gotten it the last two times I’ve gone and it was one of the best pasta dishes I’ve ever had- both times.

I have had Italian food in New York and Chicago, and I haven't found food as good as this outside a major city. Service was very cordial, and conscientious. My water glass was never empty and the waiter was very attentive. Even with two floors the atmosphere was very cozy. The lasagna, though a bit too salty, was very good. Would return anytime I'm back in town.

this place is so delicious & I love the atmosphere!
my only complaint is that since this was the second time my husband and I got their lunch special, they charged us extra for chicken in our vodka chicken sandwich when it already has chicken. We were not charged extra for it last time so I was confused when we had to pay for it when it states it already comes with it.

We have eaten at Nona's dozens of times and never disappoints. The olive butter and bread is a favorite, but Nona's scampi cannot be beat. Lauren is always so attentive to our needs.

This was the best meal I had while in all of South Dakota for a week. Delicious! Lunch. The gentleman that served me was also a firefighter in Spearfish. He was kind and patient and helpful. I really enjoyed my meal. I covered the entire south end of SD from state line to state line. Hands down, best meal & experience. Will return for sure next trip to SD
We love the food, environment, and service more than any other restaurant we frequent in a 100 mile radius. Hands down a favorite.

We went there specifically for the award winning lasagna which I had a couple years ago. When I ordered it I was told that the oven that they use to cook it was broken. The waiter told me they made a baked ziti with all the same ingredients so I ordered it. Wasn't even close to the lasagna and same high price. Not happy with the substitute suggestion. Cute place and would go again when they fix the oven.

A very good experience. Food and service was great. Would definitely recommend. Prices were just fine.

Great food and amazing service! Loved the family atmosphere. We'll come here every time we're in town!

First visit to Nonna's but will be back anytime we are in Spearfish. Exactly what we were looking for in dinner before a music concert. Inventive food, well prepared. Great service and the atmosphere and historic building really appealed to us.
